October's Literacy Event: Principal for the DayStrategy: Exit SlipsOne lucky student will have the opportunity to be the Principal for the Day! As they shadow Mrs. Alexander, they will help her make daily decisions, sit in on meetings, visit classrooms, have a special lunch ordered-in, and participate in other daily principal tasks. This student will also create one rule for the day, within reason, that all teachers and students must follow. After all, they will be the PRINCIPAL!

Remember, there are several ways to implement this after strategy. Questions about exit slips? Feel free to ask me or another teacher on your team. If you're feeling really crafty and want to make your exit slips virtual, try the tech tool of the month, Wall Wisher. (www.wallwisher.com)More details to follow on this literacy event. All ELA teachers will be given a PowerPoint to share with your classes to help spread the word about this reward. PLEASE look for students who are leaders in the classroom, embracing strategies, showing effort on STAR and other assessments, and those who are reading recreationally. Remember, literacy is within every subject! If your student is a winner, you are too!
